Sounds fancy, huh? Really, it's caramel custard and man-oh-man is it heavenly. So simple too. I baked 1/2 recipe exactly as specified and it worked great. The custard was perfectly set. The only "fail" was covering the pan with plastic wrap... my first "visual inspection" of the pan in the oven surprised me with plastic wrap that was half melted. Thankfully, none of it melted into the custards. I followed up with an aluminum foil covering and all was well.

A whole lot of baking going on! I find it interesting about the variableness of the the plastic wrap. I must confess to baking the pots de creme twice--the first time with foil since I was super skeptical of plastic wrap in the oven. The second time, I used Wegmans Premium Plastic Wrap and it worked fine and allowed me to test for jiggliness. Thanks for baking with me this week!
